"Hey we froze your business and if you're an IT admin caused you 24-72 hour work shifts and no sleep. Here, have a coffee! We're cool bro?"

CrowdStrike offers a $10 apology gift card to say sorry for outage | TechCrunch

Several people who received the CrowdStrike offer found that the gift card didn't work, while others got an error saying the voucher had been canceled.

Heard that Southwest airlines was not impacted by Crowdstrike outage because they are using Windows 3.1 and Windows 95 🤣
I wonder if that is actually true because how are they not hacked yet using such an old unmaintained software?

Me worrying about keeping up with the latest security updates on my single user home server just a joke? 🤷

I've been asked 3 times today - AS A RIDESHARE DRIVER - if I could help redesign their server systems so this doesn't happen again (my profile says I was an IT admin before I retired).

I'l be switching them to #mac servers...Most don't NEED Windows systems for what they're doing.

Being the resident techie at my job (IE I know more than people in their twenties surprisingly.) I was the guy doing the removal of the faulty programming line. That being said shoutout to my company's IT department for having fun with passwords inspired by Rush and Metallica among a few others.
